Ex-Primary Global Exec's Atty Grills Witness On Past Lies

Law360, New York (September 13, 2011, 7:20 PM EDT) -- Defense lawyers for James Fleishman, a former sales executive at Primary Global Research LLC accused of facilitating insider stock tipping through the expert networking company, painted a key prosecution witness as a self-interested liar Tuesday during questioning in New York.

Prosecutors are trying to prove that Fleishman used Primary Global, a service that sets up meetings between traders and experts working in the industry, to help feed traders confidential information from publicly traded companies.
